Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 - our first impressions from the Polish presentation

Galaxy Watch 4 oraz Galaxy Watch 4 Classic to w sumie aż 8 różnych zegarków - Galaxy Watch4 większy 44 mm, mniejszy 40 mm, a także większy i mniejszy z LTE. To samo dotyczy Galaxy Watch4 Classic w wersjach 46 i 42 mm - obie wersje z i bez LTE. Najtańsza wersja Watch4 40mm kosztuje 1169 zł, a najdroższy jest Watch4 Classic 46 mm LTE za 1999 zł. Tylko Classic ma fizyczną, obracającą się koronę, w modelu Watch4 jest ona symulowana cyfrowo. Najważniejsze zmiany, które wprowadza seria Watch 4 dotyczą wszystkich modeli - to przede wszystkim nowy system operacyjny i nowe czujniki.

Samsung decided to change from Tizen to Wear Os created by Google.System change means new functions.There will be more widgets available, which will be automatically installed on the watch when we download a given application on the smartphone, integration with Ware OS.Integration with the Google ecosystem is much wider.The watch is compatible with Google navigation, and listening to music from YouTube Music is possible even without a phone.Google Pay support will be the most important for many users.The integration of the smartphone with the watch is to be better and work faster - such things as multimedia control or change of time relative to location are to work without delay.The system change is also a resignation from iOS compatibility.

The new sensor called BIA is equally important.It is a technology known for some electronic scales - dietary and athletes.Instead of a single electrode in the upper button necessary for ECG measurement, now both buttons receive electrical impulses and the closed circuit allows the watch to estimate the weight of skeletal muscles, fat mass, percentage of fat, water content in the body and calculate BMI.Combined with ECG measurement, blood pressure, blood oxygenation and heart rate, the new series of Galaxy Watch4 watches is currently the only one that offers such a set of functions and the most advanced when it comes to measurements of our body's parameters.

Sleep measurement has also been expanded, this time with a continuous measurement of blood oxygenation, as well as the function of snoring detection.You can check how snoring affects our dream - whether its quality worsened and when exactly it occurred.Samsung boasts a more accurate measuring calorie and motivational group challenges.

Watches operate on the Exynos W920 processor, which from the previous model is to be 1.2 more efficient in calculations and up to ten times faster in graphics processing.In addition, the watch will find more memory - 1.5 GB RAM and 16 GB per files.

Samsung also improved the screen parameters, which has most of the pixel density, which increased from 265 to 330 ppi.It is also possible to regulate the brightness much smoother - from ten -speed, up to 254 possible brightness levels are jumping up to 254.In addition to comfort, this is to better optimize the time of battery operation.

The most important price that comes for all this will pay the battery life time.Samsung says that watches work up to 40 hours with AOD turned off - Always on Display.It's incomplete two days and it's maximum.AOD and GPS, navigation, listening to music will still shorten this time.It is rather a watch that we will load almost every day (just like Apple Watch).It's good that at least the charging time was shortened from 2.5 hours to 1.8 hours.

It is impossible to assess the operation of the watch, which is based primarily on advanced measurements without its configuration and use for several days.Therefore, with the final verdict, I have to abstain until full review.The combination of rich functionality with an acceptable price seems to be a good forecast for sales.Everyone has been waiting for payments for a long time and finally they are.May frequent charging do not spoil the pleasure of using and do not limit the number of measurements, e.g..during sleep.We'll see how it comes out in practice.
